Sedan, for a whole number of reasons. I like the looks, at least in light colors (though only a hatch should ever have inferno orange). The hatch is too short for long loads, for example my skis, IKEA flat-pack products and furnishings like rugs. The sedan has a very high clearance from the inside of the deck lid to the floor, much more than the Cruze, Civic or Corolla for example, enabling you to stand suitcases up and pack much more in, and a huge pass through, allowing a lot of cargo versatility. And I think the sedan will get marginally better mileage in view of the tapered rear end of the car. Another nice feature that will come into play once I install my hitch; with a hitch-mounted bike rack, the Sonic sedan enables you to open the trunk lid without even moving the bike rack out of the way. Last point; at least where I live, the sedan is 30 percent cheaper to insure than the hatch. That adds up.
Options; LT, Turbo, collision avoidance, rear view cam, Mylink/Bluetooth combo, auto (which now adds the remote start as standard). Aftermarket so far, OBD Bluetooth with Torque, all weather floor mats, better tires, and hopefully soon a rear sway bar. Future project; if anyone can suggest to me a bracket that enables me to lower the armrest by a half inch, I'm all ears.
Now, can Chevy move the gas tank under the front seats and adopt Honda's "magic seat" for both sedan and hatch? That really would be the punchline of what's already very impressive for a B-class car.
hahaha
